Description
of Installation:
This concrete
tower of interconnecting red staircases was
designed by Thai firm Supermachine Studio. The Labyrinth was
designed for a spot on the edge of a park near Bang Saen Beach,
a coastal resort 60 miles east of the Thai capital. The concrete structure also
has the nickname 10 Cal Tower – a reference to the number of calories
expelled by a typical person ascending the stairs from base to summit. At each
level, terraces and staircases diverge to connect with different
branches of the structure, creating various routes to the summit but
also providing nooks for children to hide in during games.
"The project was started by questioning performances of
generic playgrounds today, which are facilities for the youngsters to spend
time on actively, and the adult left aside being passive," explained the
designers. "Playing hide and seek in The Labyrinth is, for us, an activity
that allows parents to spend more time with their kids," they added.
